Alison Davidson is going into her 10th year as a Team Captain for her team Pat’s Pride. Pat’s Pride was created in honour of Alison’s mother, Pat, who passed away from breast cancer 10 years ago.

Even though Alison and her team have fundraised tirelessly for the past nine years, Alison wanted to really challenge herself this year. She decided she was going to fundraise $100,000 and run 10 10k races!

To date she has completed five of them. She also started a web site called Test Yourself Challenge where you can watch her progress, find out about her exciting adventures, and learn about her fundraising plans.

One such initiative is selling t-shirts, directly from her website or at her events, which say Test Yourself. “These t-shirts have been such a hit,” says Alison. “Over 400 have been sold so far to people from Newfoundland, BC and Nunavut and everywhere in between! The Test Yourself challenge really resonates with people.” It says go out there and push your limits, set your goals high, and try something. But it is also creating awareness for people to get mammograms.
